Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2019

For many, the new Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports is the true Africa Twin, which, with a larger tank, longer suspension travel and higher windshield, takes the long journey even more seriously than the normal Africa Twin already does. The chassis works like a litter, the seating position allows hundreds of kilometres at a stretch - according to Honda 525 on one tank of fuel. However, the agility and manoeuvrability of the normal Africa Twin suffer. With the more attractive appearance of the Adventure Sports, Honda has hit the bull's-eye again: there is currently no more beautiful adventure bike.

powerful, unagitated engine

comfortable chassis

comfortable seating position

superb looks

good brakes

large fuel tank

performance modes

optional DCT

Not quite optimal wind protection

no cruise control

high saddle difficult to climb for smaller riders

ABS on front wheel cannot be switched off

Honda X-ADV 2021

Honda dares - and hits the mark. The X-ADV is a sophisticated, practical and amazingly precise crossover two-wheeler. With the G-mode of the dual-clutch transmission DCT, the off-road capability is underlined even more. The X-ADV's true playground, however, is the country road, where it works excellently and presents an ingenious mixture of sportiness and comfort that is otherwise only known from big tourers and scooters. Many people don't know what to do with this "thing", but once you've ridden the X-ADV, you'll realise what it's capable of.

Engine with sufficient power

very good brakes

comfortable seating position

DCT dual clutch with G-mode

traction control

adjustable windshield

LED light

cool looks

smart key

12V power socket.

High price

storage compartment is only sufficient for a full-face helmet

running boards somewhat narrow

chain drive for scooter/adventure operation requires high maintenance

extroverted appearance is not everyone's cup of tea.
